The May selection is the book “The Fault in our Stars” by John Green. Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group,
Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten. Their relationship is all the more miraculous, given that Hazel’s other constant companion is an oxygen tank and Gus jokes about his prosthetic leg. Hazel introduces her favorite novel to Gus and tells that she dreamed about having a conversation with the author, Van Houten, who lives in Amsterdam. Gus contacts him and Van Houten invites them to visit him in Amsterdam. They travel to the Netherlands where Hazel will learn that things are not like they seem to be.
